The original user or grantee of these Arms and his descendants served their Anglo-Saxon and Norman High Kings and Nobles, and most likely they were participating East Anglo-Saxon warriors and mercenaries in the armies who fought in the pre-medieval and medieval northern wars of Essex and York, and along the Scottish borders -- at least three centuries before and three centuries after the 1066 A.D. Norman Conquest of England. The Scottish variant of these Arms most likely promulgated up to the medieval-age from prominent the Eastern Anglo-Saxon chieftains and warriors who originally settled in ancient Essex, Middlesex, and Sussex, England. These were Saxons who sailed the North Sea from Scandinavia, starting about the mid-400s A.D., and by circa 500 A.D. founded the ancient Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms and sub-Kingdoms of Kent and Gewissae in Britannia (England).
In common is that the WYSE and WYSEMAN Anglo-Saxons of Scotland used the same family motto "He is wise who is wise of God" and near identical Arms emblazoned with charges in numbers of three, throughout lower Scotland, and in Greston, York and Essex, England
